This is Deuce. He is about 12 weeks old. Weadopted him from a local rescue called http://creekbendsanctuary.com/.If you are local to Mobile and are looking for a sweetkitty, I would check with Jennifer and John atCreek Bend Sanctuary.

This first photo is Lukas playing the pitcher position. This was his first time playing tee-ball. His coach said he was one of the most improved players on the team. He loved playing.

Next is Jacob... This is Jacob's 3 season playing coach pitch league. This season he played 1st base and he was an awesome player. I was so amazed at how much Jacob improved this season. I wasn't able to get a good photo because all of his games were played at night.

The second photo was taken at Jacob's end of the season party... This is the trophy he received and it holds his game ball.
